Only in America would you see Christmas cards like this. That’s what makes America crazy good.
Growing up in New Zealand our family had American friends called The Marriotts. They would get Christmas cards just like this from their big toothy American friends abroad.
They loved getting them! Years later, I do too now. Here’s the Kardashian families’ this year.
Seeing a girl wear an LA Lakers basketball tank top in Wellywood and also the excitement of more Hobbit films in 3D!!! in Hollywood cinemas from Wellywood — is so Hollywood Entertainment exciting.
Cross cultural entertainment between two great twin cities of Modern Cinema. Hot culture being produced and reflected back to each other.
Love this pic taken at the Hobbits rally in the Capitol of New Zealand today. Look at those smiles. Priceless. :)
Vanessa Bryant is Horiwood.Com’s biggest star for June 2010. In fact, Vanessa has even whopped the non-no’s of all of the Twilight Saga kids this month. She be poppin’ it for L.A.
So, because of that–here’s Vanessa on the topic of the hottest sports wives in the world–that being The L.A Lakers Wives. Take it away Mrs Kobe Bryant:
“I have been a Laker wife for the past 10 years and I’ve never had an issue with anyone, especially any of the Laker wives,” says Vanessa, who is currently in the Caribbean with Kobe on the way to the World Cup. “Celebrating your first NBA championship is an exciting time, I know because I’ve shared five along with my husband. My focus will remain spending quality time with my husband and children this summer. I look forward to supporting the Lakers on their quest for another championship next season.”
Insane joy, for the L.A Lakers as the peoples team were celebrated by all at Figueroa Street, in Downtown L.A. Wild. L.A has the best basketball team in the U.S.A. Woot!

Sports fans of Kobe Bryant have been obsessed this week of paraodying thier favorite LA Lakers basketball star and his little fashion jaunt for LA Times Magazine‘s White Hot photoshoot.
Here’s an image that amused the heck out of me this afternoon in LA. Too funny. Bryant’s stylist for the shoot, Italiano man, Jame Veleri is even funnier though, saying to the LA Times: “I went for high fashion, not something too easy or too predictable. I thought it was cool and not too mainstream, but not too gay or Twinkie-boy.” Lol!
And from Bryant’s White Hot Playlist–here’s some musique by Cee-Lo: I’ll Be Around (Club Mix), feat Timbaland.

~Posted by Horiwood.Com, Hollywood California USA. 5.5.2010~
In Los Angeles, our main man of sport (apart from David Beckham) is LA Lakers, Kobe Bryant.
Shot in the Blossom Room of The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for LA Times Magazine, Kobe says that most of the time in his down time, “I just sleep.” When not sleeping, he loves going out to eat. Of his social life with wife Vanessa Bryant, Kobe says: “We go to restaurants, things like that. I love Koi. Most of the time, after a game, I go across to Katsuya at L.A. Live. And I love Philippe’s.”
And there you have it. As a sports star will not be photographed, without good music being present on set, here’s the PLAYLIST of Kobe Bryant’s White Hot photo shoot and the music that he listened to while being photographed. Enjoy! (more…)
Khloe Kardashian is lucky to be walking down the aisle without a knife in her back today in her wedding gown.
TMZ is reporting that Lamar Odon’s ex, Liza Morales has forbidden Lamar’s two children, Lamar Jr. (7) and Destiny (10) to attend their dad’s wedding to Khloe Kardashian.
As bikini babe, Liza Morales, PR rep has not yet made a statement confirming this to be true or not. Let’s just put it in the rumor category for now.
Moving on, is never easy. We wish Liza Morales all the best in healing from the potential pitfalls of the green eyed monster syndrome of envy and jealousy. It’s a killer in Hollywood! Good luck to Liza Morales. Single parenting is never easy. Single moms deserve love too. She’s a hot lady so she shouldn’t have any trouble in moving it along, herself.
E! News, the Kardashian family’s, personal publicist is saying that Khloe Kardashian and LA Lakers, Lamar Oden are to marry privately, Sunday, after a month of knowing each other. Only in Hollywood, would such a story be considered news. I love this town.
If you see the Kardashian girls as one person, with three heads. They do the smartest PR in Hollywood in terms of volume. No one generates storylines faster than the Kardashian sisters. They are a PR machine, and the ink hasn’t even yet dried on the pics of pregnant Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian from yesterday’s Emmy Awards 2009, and already next week’s printing press is being devoted to Khloe’s supposed wedding.
Faster than a rabbit can breed, they’re cleaning up in the fame game, these Armenian American girls! Congrats Lamar and Khloe on new found show biz love. LA has a new Bonnie & Clyde, of sports and entertainment. We love it! What a show, delivered at a pace that LA can relate to.
Kristen Stewart’s simplicity and beauty dazzles on the cover of Dazed & Confused magazine. Totally trippy! While Madonna celebrated her 51st birthday,with three of her children. Even trippyer! She’s looking good.
When the city of Los Angeles votes their news topics of interest each day in Hollywood, here’s how it looks:

Blog numbers don’t lie on the internet. Their numbers are 3-4 months ahead of magazines in who the world’s biggest stars are.
These are the top ranking stars and celebrities so far this year, here in Hollywood. For whatever reason, you the global audience on Horiwood.Com voted for them and gave them the attention you feel they deserve as entertainers who amuse you. Enjoy your celebrities for 2009!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be what everyone perceive to be the most searched for celebrities in the world, but it is actually surprise up-and-coming stars, like Nikki Reid of The Twilight Saga, Johnny Markoudakis of West Hollywood and Miss Tessa (a fashion designer, artist and model) of New Zealand who keep the fame game interesting.
Of course Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett’s deaths and Rihanna’s domestic violence issue with Chris Brown have been some of the biggest media moments this year in entertainment. 2009′s popularity this year however, has to belong to author Stephenie Meyer and the bevvy of young Hollywood actors that she created and spun into young Hollywood superstars with her Twilight Saga novels through Summit Entertainment.
Of noteworthy significance is what Stephenie Meyer has done for Native American people in giving young American ‘Indian’ actors a center stage spotlight in mainstream cinemas again in our times. That’s amazing today, as the blog numbers show.
So, it’s with great pleasure that I present to you, your 50 top celebrities on Horiwood.Com. Thanks Team.
1. NIKKI REID:She is the naughty girl of the Twilight Saga film franchise, whose often held under wraps, by Summit Entertainment. When the heat was on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s chemistry, it was Nikki’s scene stealing appearance with Native American Indian youngster, Taylor Lautner, that garnered Nikki Reid the top spot all year on Horiwood.Com. This one pic is the most searched for on this entertainment and news website in Hollywood. Reid is a big ‘sleeping’ star in the making.
2. DAVID CARRADINE: the veteran, Hollywood actor’s kinky & mysterious death, was a fascinating look into the darker side of human nature. People all over the world are still interested in David Carradine’s tragic passing.
3. KATHERINE HEIGL: She’s one of the most underpaid TV actresses in prime time. Blake Lively of Gossip Girl earns thousands more than Heigl does on hit medic show, Grey’s Anatomy. Heigl’s costar, Ellen Pompeio does too. Despite, being under appreciated in the TV pay stakes and being gracious about it, Katherine Heigl is often framed as a b*tch by LA media. However, my friends who work on the set of Grey’s each day, say that you will never find a sweeter star whose more of a team player in Hollywood than “Ms Heigl.”
Her divaness to turn on a show Hollywood style becomes apparent on the red carpet, or in the quirky romantic comedy films she appears in (Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth). Heigl channels old Hollywood glamour. She is the real deal, and comes in at #3 on Horiwoood.Com’s most searched for celebrities.
4. HAYDEN PANETTIERE: The stories that the film crew of Heroes TV series, tell in Hollywood of Hayden Panettiere are hysterical. This girl is not a child in any way, but she has a cult teen following here in America. Hayden Panettiere is a young actress who fascinates American girls. They all want to be like her. This image of Hayden in a country straw hat, and cut off shorts, clocks in at number 4 for the year to date, on Horiwood.Com. America loves a country girl gone bad. Add Heroes’ action, super-powers to her and Hayden Panettiere has it made.
5. LADY GAGA: When it comes to the world of pop, there is no other debut artist who has made the impressions with music, attitude and show-personship than Stefani Germanotta’s Lady Gaga creation. She always brings the fierce, is a great songwriter and lyricist; and Lady Gaga will wear anything outrageous to capture a headline every week. She’s a relentless marketing machine. However, it is her claim that Lady Gaga is bisexual, that ensured her rise to fame this year, as this post proves on Horiwood.Com.
6. AMBER ROSE: She is not a singer, she is not an actress. Her claim to fame is that she is an African American model, who happened to date hip hop artist, Kanye West. But Amber Rose totally fascinates people daily on Horiwood.Com. She is the most underrated person on the celebrity set in America. But her fame online supersedes many stars who still say that they are stars. The internet never lies. That’s Amber Rose’s proof in today’s celebrity rankings. This girl is huge!
Her sultry beauty and no nonsense diva attitude, combine the best of fashion, urban chic groove and hip hop music. She just is who she is, a true star as her ratings position and popularity reveals on Horiwood.Com. Amber Rose is the new Nicole Richie, basically.
7. KRISTEN STEWART: The Twilight Saga’s, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse films show how one author’s vision can create a superstar if they have the beauty, smarts and chops to fill the role. Stephenie Meyer gave actress Kristin Stewart, the chance to show the world who she really is. She’s a stunner and a big star on Horiwood.Com. LA raised, Stewart’s family all work in film, on the crew side of the production line. When Kristen stepped over the gaffer tape line, she has never looked back and a superstar, playing Twilight’s Bella was born.
I love her singing voice too. Like her face, her voice is so pretty and soulful. A girl who can make both Robert Pattinson hot and also Taylor Lautner so hot, has got to have enough sensuality to do this. Stewart proves she has. She is often a hate target of bloggers like PerezHilton.Com and female fans in love with her costar, Robert Pattinson, but Stewart keeps going from strength to strength here in her native LA. We love her!
8. MILEY CYRUS: She is because she is. She stepped into the ready made American shoes, of Britney Spears, teen pop star sensationalism. Having met Miley Cyrus in person, there is nothing to explain why America’s reigning teen superstar has the ranking that she does on Horiwood.Com with our global audience. I swear, Miley is so much prettier in person. She’s also incredibly smart. In person, Cyrus is so humble. That’s the shocking part. She’s a bundle of sweetness that fears God and who is naughty a lot too like any kid her own age, adjusting, growing and living life.
In spite of being a global megastar, Miley Cyrus is just such an American teenager! Love her!!!
9. MICHAEL JACKSON: He was the King of Pop and the third most famous person on the planet, after the Queen of England and The Pope. The world stopped to honor a person who was rich in complexity and talent. He paved the way for all African Americans to be loved in high profile positions in America and worldwide. This cannot be diminished or forgotton as your votes this year show today.
There will never be a performer quite like Michael Jackson. Barry Gordy described Michael Jackson as “the greatest entertainer on the planet” at his memorial service. Too true!
10. FARRAH FAWCETT: Charlie’s Angels hottest star ever. The beauty of Farrah Fawcett was always her strength of spirit. This became apparent as the lovely Farrah left this world, losing her battle to anal cancer. She ranks by all audience viewers worldwide at #10 on Horiwood.Com so far in 2009. What a gem of a human being!

Vanessa Bryant’s boobs were popping out of her bra at the Espy Awards, Wednesday.
Vanessa’s champion basketballing husband,Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers, didn’t seem to mind, although fashion critic bearches suggested that Vanessa needs a new bra stylist.
The couples smiles say they’re in love. What a reward for Kobe to get home to at the height of his sporting achievement. Aw, how sweet!

On Horiwood.Com here are 10 Hot Posts right now from Hollywood, LA.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Jackson’s manager, Frank DiLio, the King of Pop spent his last night singing and dancing in rehearsals at The Staples Center in LA doing what he loves best, performing.
A sobbing, told Roger Friedman, Friday: “The show at the Staples Center was amazing. Michael rehearsed 10 or 11 songs. He sang and danced, not always at full power, but the way you do for a run-through. When the show was over, he called me, but I was in the back getting something. He found me, and said, ‘Frank, I am so happy. He said he was just so happy. He said, This is really our time. He put his arm around me.”
Although Jackson’s tragic and unexpected passing has shocked the entertainment world in America, it’s a nice thought, thinking that MJ spent his last night on earth where Kobe Bryant’s LA Lakers are America’s #1 basketball champs. Nice one!
